Ensure that `i2c_lock' is held when setting interrupt latch and mask in pca953x_irq_bus_sync_unlock() in order to avoid races. The other (non-probe) call site pca953x_gpio_set_multiple() ensures the lock is held before calling pca953x_write_regs(). The problem occurred when a request raced against irq_bus_sync_unlock() approximately once per thousand reboots on an i.MX8MP based system. * Normal case 0-0022: write register AI|3a {03,02,00,00,01} Input latch P0 0-0022: write register AI|49 {fc,fd,ff,ff,fe} Interrupt mask P0 0-0022: write register AI|08 {ff,00,00,00,00} Output P3 0-0022: write register AI|12 {fc,00,00,00,00} Config P3 * Race case 0-0022: write register AI|08 {ff,00,00,00,00} Output P3 0-0022: write register AI|08 {03,02,00,00,01} *** Wrong register *** 0-0022: write register AI|12 {fc,00,00,00,00} Config P3 0-0022: write register AI|49 {fc,fd,ff,ff,fe} Interrupt mask P0 Signed-off-by: Ian Ray <ian.ray@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpio/gpio-pca953x.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/gpio/gpio-pca953x.c b/drivers/gpio/gpio-pca953x.c index 77a2812f2974..732a6964748c 100644 --- a/drivers/gpio/gpio-pca953x.c +++ b/drivers/gpio/gpio-pca953x.c @@ -758,6 +758,8 @@ static void pca953x_irq_bus_sync_unlock(struct irq_data *d) int level; if (chip->driver_data & PCA_PCAL) { + guard(mutex)(&chip->i2c_lock); + /* Enable latch on interrupt-enabled inputs */ pca953x_write_regs(chip, PCAL953X_IN_LATCH, chip->irq_mask); -- 2.39.2
